HomeMy WebLinkAbout2023 Teen Academy Success! - 7/18/20232023 Teen Academy Success! Earlier this summer, the Firestone Police Department hosted 24 teens from Firestone for a 4-day Teen Police Academy. Students had a packed few days learning about many aspects of a career in law enforcement and other safety service positions. Firestone School Resource Oicers Dunker and Neugebauer coordinated the Teen Academy. A few highlights of the academy include: -- SWAT Presentation -- Rescue Demonstrations -- Building Searches -- K9 Presentation & Demonstration -- Bomb Squad Presentation -- Use of Force Continuum & Simulator -- Traic Stops -- Drone Demonstration -- Fire Department Presentation We appreciate the support and participation from Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District, Carbon Valley Emergency Management Agency, and Weld County Sheriʼs Oice, including Weld County SWAT, Weld County K9, and the Weld County Bomb Squad. And a big thank you to the following Firestone restaurants for donating lunches to the participants last week: Jersey Mikeʼs, Marcos Pizza, Papa Johnʼs, and Qdoba. For those adults who want to participate in something similar, registration for the 2 Annual Citizensʼ Police Academy, a 10-week program that provides a hands-on learning experience for attendees designed to build a better understanding of law enforcement, will open soon! nd Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email Copyright © 2023 Town of Firestone.
